Event: Stop the Cuts Rally and Flashmob,

Sept 26th 2011
5:30pm City Hall

As we know, in a very short tenure, Mayor Ford’s Administration has taken Toronto from a financial surplus to a deficit position; has locked out city workers in several departments; has scrapped transit city and has proposed far-reaching core service cuts that will devastate many individuals and families across the City – among other things. (Don’t even get me started on the Waterfront Monorail Ferris Wheel Shopping Mall fiasco – seriously.).

This is no gravy train, we’re talking about – it’s living wages and necessary core services. Before Mr. Ford dismantles any more of what makes Toronto a fair and good city, it is critical that we get out there – faces and feet – on the square to tell City Council to STOP THE CUTS NOW! We have won victories in the past – Mike Harris’ vision for Ontario was similar – and mass mobilizations were able to contain the damage and push his agenda off the rails… WE CAN DO IT AGAIN!!!

Some friends and I have created a special music video to promote the event – please help spread the word by sharing the link with all your contacts to get the word out and get people to the event!
